Made in God’s Image: What A.I. Can (and Can’t) Tell Us About Ourselves - Rodica Mocan

The Bible teaches that humans are made in God’s image (Imago Dei), giving us creativity, intelligence, and moral responsibility. Technology, in many ways, reflects this—helping us extend our abilities and solve problems. But what happens when artificial intelligence starts to show creativity, make decisions, and even imitate human thought? Does this challenge our understanding of what it means to be made in God’s image? This session explores how AI is shaping the world and what it means for faith. How should Christians think about these advancements? What are the responsibilities that come with innovation? And how can we ensure technology is used in a way that honours God and upholds human dignity?
